Memorial Day

Memorial Day weekend was busy for us as is about every weekend Since most involve going out of town. We Started the weekend off on Friday by heading to the Final Graduation at Lineville High School. To watch Jacob Graduate. Zach and I once again received our parent of the year award when we let our child fall off the bleachers head first. No blood was seen but when she slept until 9:00am the next morning I was fearful there was a concussion. After the Graduation on Friday we drove back to our house b/c my husband was determined that we were going to finally spend a Saturday at our house. And it was wonderful!!
We all slept until 9 which we were a little upset about b/c we felt like we had slept the day away. Zach smoked some meat for supper MaKenna and I played in her pool and then after supper we did a little shopping. Because what Saturday is complete with out a little shopping. It was a wonderful Saturday and great to finally spend one like most families do.

Enjoying some of Daddy's Cooking

After church on Sunday we headed back to CC for the rest of the Memorial day Festivities. We hung out at the lake on Sunday Afternoon And MaKenna Drank most of the lake water. Which might I add grossed this Momma out a little. I kept on thinking Braden and Andrew are probably peeing in this water right now and my child is drinking it!! But I told myself I survived growing up inhaling and drinking lake water, so hopefully she will too.

Hanging with Aunt Bethany

Monday we hung out at Grandpa and Maw Maw's where she continued to love the water, but spent most of her morning going up and down steps.

14 Months

No I have not fallen of the face of the blog world, and yes I know that I am a horrible mother for not accurately documenting my child's life.
During my Blog absentee...
Spent her first night away from Momma, In case you are wondering I survived.

Daddy's Deployment was officially over in February when he brought the Helicopters home.

She had a great easter

I was pleased with how her dressed turned out, since I didn't start on it until Wednesday

Now she is 14 Months old She weighs 21 lbs and 3 ozs and is 29 1/4 in.
Her Favorite word is Outside, she loves to be Outside. She wakes up in the morning saying "Outside" and reaching for the door. She love to tell Ellie (the Dog) "get". She also calls the dog by either patting her leg or belly. The other day she wanted to go outside when it was raining, she went to the door stood up and reached for the door knob and looked at me and started patting her leg. She can also say Ball bath and tell you what a cow and a lion say. She loves the phone and any time one rings she puts her hand to her ear.
         April 20 she stood up from a seated position with out holding on to anything. She is still not walking but cruises around holdning on to everything. Not really rushing the walking b/c I know I will be on the go constantly. Once that starts. She discover her belly button that same weekend and is amazed by hers and mine.
       During the blessing she say "men" for amen. Oh and she says bath too. Sings the "B, I B I" of BIBLE song, "Row Row Row" and has the cutest little mouth expression when she does, E I EI O. and also sings her own version of the ABC's .
        We love Mickey Mouse and can spot "Mic" anything from a mile a way.
